I want to delete the text in 30.000 cells from a cell which contains text and
numbers. What is the easiest way to do so?

Thanks

Hi Henk

Copy this code and use the function Digitsonly(a2), copy down, copy and
paste values

************************************************** ***
Public Function DigitsOnly(sStr As String) As Variant
Dim oRegExp As Object

Set oRegExp = CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")

With oRegExp
.IgnoreCase = True
.Global = True
oRegExp.Pattern = "\D"

DigitsOnly = oRegExp.Replace(sStr, vbNullString)

End Function

Sub RemoveAlphas()
' Remove alpha characters from a string.
' except for decimal points and hyphens.
Dim intI As Integer
Dim rngR As Range, rngRR As Range
Dim strNotNum As String, strTemp As String

Set rngRR = Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, _
xlTextValues)

For Each rngR In rngRR
strTemp = ""
For intI = 1 To Len(rngR.Value)
If Mid(rngR.Value, intI, 1) Like "[0-9.-]" Then
'change to [0-9] if dec. pt. and hyphen not required
strNotNum = Mid(rngR.Value, intI, 1)
Else: strNotNum = ""
End If
strTemp = strTemp & strNotNum
Next intI
rngR.Value = strTemp
Next rngR

End Sub
